Default Dumb Question... Do I have a Trunk Light?

Realized the other day that its awfully dark in there at night... I would think it should have a light? Is it possible its just a bad bulb or is there no light in there at all?

Yes, and there is an on/off switch in the light housing.

Yes you do. Its not that big so it might be a little tricky to find. Once you find it, you can't miss it.

I really felt stupid for having asked the question... even considering I'm a "car guy", but you only notice there's no light when its dark... when you can't look to see if there's a light

Kinda like windshield wipers... you only remember you need to replace the blades when its raining!

lol your not alone, took me awhile to notice we had a light there too. Like you said, we only need it when it's dark and it's too hard to find when it is dark

Yeah took me about 6 months to realize it was there also. Pretty dumb that they don't have it automatically turn on and off when you open and close the trunk.
